Competing

Chapter 434
"Yingbo sent troops to fight against Chu?" Yin Xu asked in confusion in Shanyin City.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Jiujiang and Han have formed an alliance to fight against Chu!" Su An reported truthfully.

Yingbo's beheading of the envoys of Chu State was carried out openly, and there was an uproar in the six counties.Jiujiang State is very close to Yue State, every move may be related to the security of Dao Yue State.It is precisely because of this that Feiying in Jiujiang has deployed a large number of spies, so that they can get news as soon as there is any disturbance.

Su An said: "In order to show his determination, Yingbo also directly killed Xiang Yu's envoys. The matter has been made public, and there is no room for recovery."

Yin Xu sighed lightly: "Yingbo is really determined, and there is no way out!"

Chen Ping sighed: "In this way, it seems that Jiujiang and Chu are going to war!"

Historically, when the Chu and Han were fighting, Jiujiang was destroyed by Xiang Yu, and Yingbu led the remnants to seek refuge with Liu Bang. The situation today is very similar.Yin Xu understood this in his heart, just judging from the current situation, Yingbo's move was really not flattering.But judging from all aspects of the situation, Yingbo is also helpless.

The location of Jiujiang Kingdom and Yingbo's personal talent are doomed to the fact that the situations of Jiujiang Kingdom and Yue Kingdom are completely different across a river.

Liu Bang wooed Yingbu in order to use it to contain Xiang Yu.Xiang Yu wanted to destroy Jiujiang, but he wanted to pacify Huainan so that he could have peace of mind.So Jiujiang country can only end like this, alas!Thinking about Yingbo's situation, Yin Xu couldn't help but sighed softly. Speaking of which, he really sympathized with Yingbo, the brother who had fought side by side for a long time.

Yin Xu sighed: "What do you think will happen if you lose this battle?"

Wei Liao said: "Although the Jiujiang Kingdom has formed an alliance with the Han Kingdom, the two countries have no direct connection, and the armies cannot join forces to attack. The reality will be that the Jiujiang Kingdom in Huainan will face Xiang Yu's army alone. It can be said that it is a lone army Fight hard, the situation in Jiujiang is not optimistic."

Zhang Han said: "Yingbo is a rare fierce general in the world, but he is far behind Xiang Yu, and even slightly inferior to Long Qi. In terms of generals' resourcefulness and bravery, Jiujiang Kingdom has no advantages. In terms of military strength From the point of view, the battle between Qi and Chu is about to end, and the battle between Chu and Han is now in a state of confrontation. Chu has completely spare troops to mobilize to conquer Huainan. Presumably, Xiang Yu will not It is easy to start a large-scale war with the Han army. In this way, the pressure on Jiujiang will be even greater."

Yin Xu heard clearly that Wei Liao and Zhang Han had already made conclusions from two aspects of strategy and actual combat, and the situation of Jiujiang Kingdom was very bad.Eighty percent of the time will be exactly the same as in history, and Jiujiang will still be defeated. This has almost become a fact, and no one can change it.The only difference may be Yingbo's ending. Will he still become a general under Hanwang Liu Bang as he did in history?
Yin Xu sighed softly: "I don't care about the outcome of this battle? I don't care about the fate of Jiujiang Kingdom. I only care about whether this battle will have any positive or negative impact on Yue Kingdom? And Yingbo himself's ending?"

Hearing what the king of Yue said, several resourceful and caring courtiers all heard a sign that the king of Yue was interested in Yingbo himself.Yingbu is brave and good at fighting, and he is a rare general. For Yin Xu, who is eager for talents, he naturally wants to recruit him.

Of course, the one who recruited could only be the down-and-out general Yingbu, not the mighty King of Jiujiang.Li Si and others even suspected that this was exactly the situation King Yue wanted.As for Yin Xu's deeper purpose, they can naturally perceive it.This is something that any king would care about. It is not surprising that Yin Xu would have such a reaction and intention.

Li Si was very self-aware. Although he voluntarily retreated, the power of the Qin family was still too heavy in Yue.He is not disgusted with Yin Xu's actions of suppressing and weakening, let alone hold grudges, and even somewhat agrees with him.After all, it is now the country of Yue, not because Yin Xu is the son-in-law of the country of Qin, there are many similarities in the country of Qin.

The common purpose of Yin Xu's cooperation with them is to deal with Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, and to avenge Qin Guo, Ziying, Li You and others.But with the deepening of contact and integration, they have been integrated into the country of Yue.Li Si knew very well that things were moving forward, and being able to take revenge was enough.

The granddaughter is the wife of King Yue, so she must plan for Ziye's future, that is, Yin Xu's future.Over time, they gradually became loyal courtiers of the Yue Kingdom.The Qin faction is too powerful, and one day they will make great achievements, and they are very clear about the consequences.Instead of waiting for the swordsman to meet at that time, it is better to let Yin Xu gradually control it now, and he will live in peace in the future.So pretend you didn't hear these things, and just help Yin Xu with all your strength.

"It's better for us to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight about the matter in Jiujiang!"

Yin Xu said: "It's true to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, but you can't ignore it, otherwise there will be problems. Especially Yingbo and his family are not related to Jiujiang, but also have a close relationship with Hengshan. By the way, let Go, Du Shang, just like last time. If necessary, you can do it in advance, at least bring Yingbo's family back to me."

Li Si and Wei Liao looked at each other, and couldn't help feeling, Yin Xu is so aboveboard!Knowing that Du Shang used to be from the state of Qin, he still sent him there, which shows that he never intended to hide it from them.To be honest, it's good to be honest with each other in this way, so as to avoid any misunderstanding.

After Du Shang received the order, he set off for Jiangbei. Yin Xu thought that it would be fine for Feiying to spy on the information alone, but it seemed that it would be impossible to do such a big thing.It seems that it is necessary to lurk a team in Jiangbei for a long time, and it may be of great use at any time.

Yin Xu immediately said: "Let's wait for the Jiujiang war to end first, we should also prepare, as long as the land in the north of the river falls. Yingbo will not cross the south of the river, we should start preparing, the war in the south should start .”

Opening up the southern front is a strategy that Yin Xu has considered for a long time, and it can also be said to be the established decision of the Yue Kingdom.Jiujiang Kingdom still has a lot of land in the south of the great river. As long as Yingbu fails in Jiangbei this time, Yin Xu will occupy this land without hesitation and take it as his own.

Then use this as a base to launch an attack on Linjiang Kingdom. In the short term, the goal is to take all the land south of the river, Bashu, and north of Nanling.In this way, the country of Yue can dominate the south and face many princes across the river, and no one will be underestimated.

The best result is to open two breakthroughs to the north in Huainan and Jingxiang. Whether it is Xiang Yu or Liu Bang, they can both contain and attack.This is Yin Xu's long-term vision, and it is also the first step for him to compete in the world.Those before can only be said to be rising and self-improvement.

"It stands to reason that it's time. Our conscription and training have been going on for more than half a year. Now there are [-] soldiers in the country of Yue. Last year's harvest was bumper, and there is enough food and grass for the time being. After the farming, the land area of ​​our country It has greatly increased, and water conservancy facilities are also being actively built. This year's grain harvest can be increased by several percent. And the financial support provided by Ms. Fan Yilan is enough to support the war in the south!" As the prime minister of Vietnam, Chen Ping knew all about these things , his opinion is very informative.

Wei Liao said: "The old minister suggested that when the Jiujiang battle is over, the biggest enemy of Chu is the Hanguo. After they transfer the main force of the army to the Central Plains and start a large-scale war with the Han army, we will mobilize troops again. In this way , Chu State will not pose a threat to us, and we will march westward without any worries to pacify the south."

"Okay!" Yin Xu knew that what they said was true, and immediately ordered: "Feiying needs to increase investment in Linjiang Country and provide enough pre-war information."

"Yes!" Su An nodded and accepted the order. After Luluo, who took care of Feiying, became pregnant, Yin Xu couldn't find a suitable candidate for the time being, so he temporarily handed over to Su An to take care of her.

Yin Xu's eyes fell on Zhang Han again, and he said, "General, I have to ask you to come out this time!"

Finally, he had the opportunity to lead the Vietnamese army into battle. This was Zhang Han's long-cherished wish when he came to Jiangdong, and he immediately said excitedly, "Your Majesty, please tell me that Zhang Han will definitely go all out!"

"It stands to reason that to deal with these small princes in the south, it is really overkill for the general to go out. But I want a quick victory and a shocking effect at the same time, so I have to ask you to go out!"

Zhang Han nodded. He knew that Yin Xu sent him to fight, which also meant one thing, that is, he could see the light of day again.After coming to Yueguo for so long, their identities have been kept secret and have not been leaked out.There are various considerations for the specific reasons. Judging from the current situation, since Yin Xu has made such an arrangement, it means that it is time.

Changing from a vassal king to a general of the Yue Kingdom, his status seems to have been reduced a lot, but Zhang Han has no complaints.At one time he was disheartened and didn't know how to deal with himself, but now he has a clear idea of ​​his future, which is to be loyal to the king of Yue and be a good general of the king of Yue with due diligence.

Yin Xu nodded lightly, satisfied with Zhang Han's current state, and then ordered: "General, then you should go to Fanyi as soon as possible, and train the soldiers there first, and then go south to enter Jiujiang and Linjiang. .At the same time as you send troops, Pu Jun will mobilize the newly trained navy to advance from the north along the river to the west, and attack from both directions to pacify the south in the shortest possible time."

Zhang Han nodded his head!

Yin Xu said: "Let's do this first. Now my family is fully cooperating. Expedition to the west to pacify the south is the current national policy of our country of Yue. We must do it well!"

After finishing the discussion in the imperial study room, he walked out of the study room. Li Si followed, walked up to Yin Xu, and said in a low voice: "My lord, Zhang Han's identity should be revealed to the world. It seems that I don't need to hide it anymore. ..."

Yin Xu knew Li Si's knot in his heart, nodded and said: "Don't worry, I'll talk to Ziye..."

Speaking of the two monarchs and ministers walking out together, I didn't expect that just as they walked through the garden and were about to send Li Si out of the palace, a group of court ladies came in front of them, surrounded by Li Yuniang and Ying Ziye...
